Review

Why isn't Gillian Anderson one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood? She's beautiful, intelligent and consistently excellent in a wide variety of roles, and yet her big-screen appearances seem to be restricted to small cameos which leave us wanting more. Now Anderson has been given a meaty role in British thriller [Closure] and she seizes the part with both hands, giving a brave and powerful performance. Unfortunately, Dan Reed's directorial debut is an unworthy showcase for her talents...[Closure] doesn't have anything to say, it's a nasty and hollow piece of work. The film finally derails completely in the last fifteen minutes, when the two protagonists extract appropriate vengeance for the crimes committed against them in a horribly drawn-out sequence. Like everything else in the picture, this climax would be laughable if it wasn't so repulsive.
